After upgrading my Extension Developer Tools to the TBA-patched codebase, I receive this `TypeError: javascript_task.compileJavascript is not a function` error whenever I save a JavaScript file while running the local server (i.e. I can't test new JavaScript changes locally while the server is running). Any further attempts to save a JS file does not trigger the watcher to recompile. Does anyone know how to resolve?

Which version of SC/SCA &amp; SCEM are you using?

<@UD9EXR0MV> SCEM 2020.2.1 (for SCA 2020.1)

Does `./skinbetter-extensions/gulp/extension-mechanism/local-tasks/javascript.js` exist with the `compileJavascript` method defined? Seems like one of those things may be missing

<@U017PPUNCGG> Yes it exists—that's the funny thing:

Might be the version of gulp or node that you are using. Are you using the SCA recommended version for both those tools?

Hi <@UKMDT1692> did you resolve the issue ? We had the same issue and was related with some third parties that didn't have the proper define

<@UAQ2PB0HG> No we haven't resolved it yet, but that is a good suggestion

Is very common that 3rd parties have the following to define de module

```if (typeof define === 'function' &amp;&amp; define.amd)
{
    // AMD. Register module.
    define('PapaParse', [], factory);
}
else if (typeof module === 'object' &amp;&amp; module.exports)
{
    // Node. Does not work with strict CommonJS, but
    // only CommonJS-like environments that support module.exports,
    // like Node.
    module.exports = factory();
}
else
{
    // Browser globals (root is window)
    root.Papa = factory();
}```


you should comment that lines and only leave the define

so the start of th module will should look like this

```(function(root, factory)
{
    //Leave only define to avoid issues with local tools
    define('PapaParse', [], factory);
    /*
    if (typeof define === 'function' &amp;&amp; define.amd)
    {
        // AMD. Register module.
        define('PapaParse', [], factory);
    }
    else if (typeof module === 'object' &amp;&amp; module.exports)
    {
        // Node. Does not work with strict CommonJS, but
        // only CommonJS-like environments that support module.exports,
        // like Node.
        module.exports = factory();
    }
    else
    {
        // Browser globals (root is window)
        root.Papa = factory();
    }*/
}```
